WFMW - Plastic Tumblers

For this week's Works for Me Wednesday, I have a tip that is especially helpful to those with larger than the average families, or for those families with younger children. On a recent trip to Sam's Club, I spent a little time in the catering area. You know that part of the store where they sell really large pans. I spied a box with 12 plastic tumblers in it. They held 20-ounces. Suddenly, a light bulb went off, and I thought of the mismatched glassware we had in our cabinet. Over the years we have had nice glassware, and I mean "glass" in the word "glassware." So our glasses were a bit mismatched, and I only had a small number of those lovely Tupperware plastic cups. So I bit the bullet and bought the set of 12 matching plastic tumblers! Those same tumblers that you would see in a restaurant setting. After bringing them home, my family OOOOHHHH--ed and AAAAAHHHH-ed over them, and we washed them and put them to use. They are WONDERFUL!! Now all 7 of us (baby gets a sippy cup still) have matching cups at dinner, and it does not matter if one falls from the table. One of the most attractive features of our new "plasticware" was the price! They were quite affordable. Next time you visit your local warehouse-type store, check out some of their catering supplies. You might be surprised at what you find there. I am attaching a stock photo of mine for your pleasure.
Have a blessed day! TamiLabels: large family, WFMW |

WFMW: Cough/Flu tip
|

This week's Works for Me Wednesday post came about due to necessity. We have had the flu in our household, and I coughed and coughed and coughed at night. And do you want to know what worked for me to quiet my cough?
I put Vick's Vapor Rub on the bottom of my feet at night and put my softest socks on over it. And I went to sleep, and I did not cough once ALL night long!!!!
I heard this once, and I thought it was CRAZY.
Now, I am not a medical professional, so please do not take this as advice from a medical professional. This is just a "mom tip" that someone shared with me. If you have a persistant cough, it is a good idea to seek medical attention, especially if it has been lingering.
Have a blessed day! TamiLabels: cold, cough, WFMW |
